Fair enough, but then I can think of an even better place to put the icon: the control center that is a single swipe away from any screen in the OS. This is all moot in newer iPhon…

I couldn’t get it to trigger until I opened the camera app and made sure to switch to the front facing camera before exiting. After doing that I was able to consistently trigger th…

Just split up your work across multiple PRs.

The way we do it where I work (large company in the cloud/cybersecurity/cdn space): - Chains of manageable, self-contained PRs each implementing a limited scope of functionality. “…

In that situation either (1) someone will pay for everyone at the table and then everyone else will “Swish” (the name of the local money transfer app) them their respective share o…

Your experience mirrors mine. My wife and I used Walmart+ for grocery deliveries basically every week for a year without any issues up until a couple of months ago. Suddenly, they …

Not all Latin-American countries experienced the same level of mestizaje and colonization. The southern part of Chile, in particular, was never successfully colonized by the Spania…

In fact, it’s so easy to know where North is that it’s very common to use cardinal directions when describing locations or meeting points in Santiago, as opposed to using landmarks…

Somo el mejor país de Chile hmno. As a Chilean living in the US, seeing this on HN made my day - it’s not often the rest of the world (outside of South America) remembers we exist.…

It's the same in Spanish. As a native Spanish speaker (and a Swedish speaker too!), this really annoyed me about the first two paragraphs of the article. The authors clearly didn't…

Be there. My family recently had to put down one of my family's beagles who had been with us for 15 years. She was blind, could barely walk, and was having trouble keeping food dow…

Same here. And they’re a BYOD shop too, which I found strange.

A couple of years ago I used to mountainbike quite seriously and commute 14km round-trip to university. I have since then switched first to commuting on a scooter, then to a OneWhe…

Part of what I remember about the process is that you don't actually get to speak to anyone until quite late in the process. I think I only finally got to jump into a call with the…

I did. I passed all rounds and was extended an offer, but the pay was way below what I expected and so I declined. They also don’t sponsor visas or relocation, which was a dealbrea…

Same experience here. I have a 16" M1 MBP for work (mostly Go and Rust development), and it's the best computer I've ever had. It's a beast that can handle anything thrown at it wi…

Location: Currently in Sweden, aiming to relocate to the US. Remote: Open to both remote and in-office work. Willing to relocate: Yes, to the US. Technologies: Python (~10 yoe), Li…

I just want to present a counterpoint to your claim that in the EU, CCs matter less: there are countries in the EU like Sweden where cash is virtually non-existent. Basically every…

My thoughts exactly. I'm currently working on a paper together with an older professor who barely manages to use Overleaf, and this is how I make it work. I keep my copy of the pap…

What? Really? This argument is something I would expect someone like Josef Mengele to say, not a modern human being in the 21st century. You can't just leave ethics out of science.…
